As the fastest-growing major economy of the world, today, India is uniquely placed to deliver on its commitments to inclusive and sustainable development. Externally the country has played a key role in shaping the SDG’s and ensuring the balance among its three pillars—economic, social, and environmental.
SDG’s can be met only through high standards of governance at all levels. In this respect, India is especially fortunate to have highly committed governments at the center as well as states. In the spirit of cooperative federalism, the two levels of the government have joined hands to bring about the change India needs.
Telangana has been ranked third overall in India in the SDGI with a score of 67 after Kerala and Himachal Pradesh. State improved its score from 2018 of 61 and is now above the national composite score of 60 points.
UNDP India announced that Telangana has emerged as the best performing State in promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth and decent work for all on SDG India index for 2019.
Telangana recognizes its role in dovetailing the activities required for achieving the goals both at national and global levels. A status report on where the state stands on this front can be viewed here.
